Yay for sleepaway camp stories! The Hunter/Sam/Cole thing fizzled almost before it started, but at least she realized it. Wish I had a mentor like Alexis, or friends like Sam's fellow CITs.

Very distinct feel of the middle book in a trilogy - less defined, very inbetween/transitional, not much to recommend it on its own. I'm not too devastated by all the death and injury; it's all getting a bit old.

Nope - I'm done with this series. Not only did it ruthlessly murder my Team Dorian feels - I didn't dislike Chaol, but he's boring - but yeah, let's make Celaena even more special and kill off characters who actually balance her out.

Fairly shallow, but an okay YA chick-lit light read. Nothing special, but the style was pleasantly comfortable.

Definitely an above-average summer read. Adam was cute and sweet, and I enjoyed watching the friendships shift and change. I think I'd describe it as idyllic - soft, happy teenage summers.

Pretty good use of epistolary. Really cute; definitely never a dull moment. I also liked the way the narrative dealt with/incorporated the "boys" element. Overall, a feel-good kind of read.

Belongs to the historical-figure-was-an-amateur-detective-and-defier-of-societal-norms trope, but I liked Mr Nobody so I was pretty invested, even if it could've been set up better.

Lots of deep and the plot thickens moments, making this just what the middle installment of a trilogy should be, with character development, backstory reveals, and just partial resolution.

Honestly, I really liked Lyd's and Seb's "Secret Agents" thing; it was super cute. And I enjoyed the bits about writing and law and pranks, and Elizabeth's and Christina's cameo appearances.

Pretty interesting, possibly more so than Allyson's part. More of that awesome world travel aspect I love so much, and Willem's friends were great. Lots of Shakespeare, of course, which to me is always a plus if done well (which this was).
